What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Banbury: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Banbury?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Landlord and trade work in Banbury

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Banbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
